But who is who do you think is the greatest player ever to play the game/your favorite?

Obviously, I'd say Dirk Nowitzki.

Best pure shooter in the NBA, best Power Forward of all time, best seven-footer, etc.And unlike LeBron or Wade, actually someone people could try to emulate as a person.That's my unbiased, impartial opinion.

D-wade is my favorite player as well but he's been really violent and angry lately...

Yeah I don't know what all that is about.. I've been watching him since he played down the street from me at Marquette.. Was very exciting when he lead them to the final 4

After being around LeBron, he has decided to let his inner douchebag come out.

Mavs fans saw it coming when he mocked Dirk for being sick during the playoffs.

This from the man that needed to be taken out of a game in a wheelchair.....for a shoulder sprain.He is also the second biggest flopper in the NBA (after LeBron of course). If you can't win fairly, you shouldn't be playing the game. Never once will you see Dirk or J Kidd fake a fall or flop. Too much character and class.

Flopping is a part of the game. Its like how a great shooter will pump fake to get the defender in the air then jump into that defender to get to the line. Which J kidd and Dirk has done thousands of times. And yet you're OK with the douchebag that is Mark Cuban.

No. It is not. It's what people with no class or sportsmanship do to deceive the refs and get points they don't deserve.

Umm....no. That would be an offensive foul. A pump-fake followed by a drive to the cup (Ricky Rubio-style) is perfectly fine. Defender falls for it, you make 'em pay. Falling down after a play pretending to be fouled is completely different.

And yet you're OK with the douchebag that is Mark Cuban.

I see absolutely no reason to believe that Mark Cuban and Nolan Ryan are anything other than the best owners in professional sports. Mark Cuban has as much for this franchise as Nash, and even Dirk.

Yes it is. Which is why its considered legal. Never heard of Vlade Divac?

Not if they're in the air you moron. In fact putting your body on the line to draw a foul is one of the most selfless things you can do.

HE TALKED SH!t TO KENYON MARTINS MOTHER!!! How on earth could you be OK with that. Fan boys like you are goddamn pathetic.

Sorry, but CHAMBERLAIN!He could rebound (all time leader)He could score (50 PPG in one season)He could pass (Once lead the league in assists)He could block (experts estimate if blocks had been recorded in Wilt's day, he would have been in the double digits)And he could steal (He snatched a lot of balls)

I don't think you know what flopping is. Flopping can't, by its very definition, be legal. It is falling down and making the refs think you got fouled. Only worthless cry babies do it.

Then Brian Cardinal is the most selfless person in the NBA. If the offensive player intentionally moves into a defender, or a defender steps into the defined path of an offensive player, it is an offensive foul.

HE TALKED SH!t TO KENYON MARTINS MOTHER!!!

And then 1) promptly apologized to his mother, son, and family 2) invited them back to any game in Dallas 3) invited them to his personal suite or to have any suite they like wherever they want 4) offered to pay for they stay and dinner.

How on earth could you be OK with that. Fan boys like you are goddamn pathetic.

I don't watch a lot of Clippers Basketball. I'd rather watch the Spurs, Lakers, OKC, Miami, Chicago. Although Ricky Rubio + Blake Griffin would be sick.

But I doubt anyone could top Lebron.

You are putting LBJ over CHAMBERLAIN?!?!?! That's nuts.

Didn't see the flopped part, lol. But seriously, no one these days pays respect to Wilt. He died for our basketball sins.

No one cares about people that weren't alive in their lifetime, let alone athletes who gain adoration from people who watch them play. Go back to the 60's and there would have been tons. There won't be many Durant fans, Kobe fans, or Dirk fans 50 years from now, either. It's a cycle.
